Qin Gang, Ministry of Foreign Affairs： The EU accuses China of interfering in China’s justice by executing spies.

　　According to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qin Gang, spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, answered questions on the statement issued by the European Union and others on the Wo Weihan case.

　　A reporter asked: The European Union and Austria issued a statement a few days ago, expressing strong dissatisfaction with Wo Weihan’s execution, saying that China’s practice undermined the mutual trust and respect that should be enjoyed by human rights dialogue, which would have destructive consequences. The United States also expressed concern about the Wo case. What is China’s comment on this?

　　Qin Gang: China is a country ruled by law. Wo is a citizen of China, and the evidence of his crime is conclusive. The judicial authorities in China have made a judgment according to law, which is entirely within the jurisdiction of China. The trial procedure of this case was fair, which fully guaranteed the defendant’s various litigation rights.

　　Qin Gang said that the EU and others made irresponsible remarks about the judgments made by China’s judicial departments in accordance with the law, which grossly interfered with China’s justice, trampled on the spirit of the rule of law and damaged the foundation for the healthy development of human rights dialogue between the two sides. We express our strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition to this. China urges the European Union and others to immediately correct their mistakes and stop all words and deeds that interfere with other countries’ justice.
